w. B. r. Sugar Planter: 1t is stated that
the supporters of Gov. Nichols in Acadia par
themselves to defeat Col. Robertson, the NOM
inee of the party. These gentlemen owe it
to themselves to either refute the statement
or acknowledge the corn.
IberviIle South: We learn that one day
last week ON the Texas plantation in this par
ish Is acres of cane were ground from which
62 hogsheads of sugar were made. The same
/ DUiHDSE OIL acres were SfOuuu uuflDg UuD pres

Bienvlle New Era: In the local option
election in Lincoln parish last week, no IL
cense carried all over the parish by a large
majority. In two wards not single vote was
! cast for license. This shows conclusively that
! where the people have tried it they do not
| want whisky retailed any more. Prohibition
j is moving steadily ahead.

net to take place soon, if they have not al
reaay been made, will be the appointment OF

rs w. b. r. Sugar Planter: Gov. McEEnery ha.
addressed q letter to Col. d. F. Boyd. of Ba
ton Rouge, declining to deliver the address o
welcome at the opening of the Central Louisi
ana Faf4 TO be held in that city on Dec. 7,
and 9. He states that "there has been SOM
hesitaney on the part of the supporters o
, Gen. Nichols to aid and encourage the fai
because of the fact that an invitation ha'
been extended to him to deliver the addres
Of welcome, and that being desirous of see
, ing the fair made q success, he is "not willin
to do anything that would withhold from tn
, fair one cent of contribution or one effort tina
would make it a success" The letter is 9
, once dignifed and manly, and is eminentI
|, characteristic OF The dOvefnOF. lG Is W Y
hoped that the fair will be made grand SUI
cess, despite the effort to inject politics into
Capitolian- Advocate The parishes of Eal
u Feliciana, Acadia and st. Landry, all OF whie
/ are claimed for Nichols and Reform, displa
/ o grand total of votes for the Democrat
!; Congressional nominee Of seven hundred a,
: fifty votes, the equivalent of four votes in co
vcntion. They will, all the same, claim Il
right of casting t,ceaty-ssiase votes.
9 On that ratio, how much more Reform "
y be required to wipe ont the Democratic Vo
n altogether, is the question that we Wou
il like the experienced solvers of political pr
zies to answer,
It seems to us that if that is Reform, Lo
IL isiana has had enough of it, and it is abo
ID time tn go back to old fashioned Democracy
IN that Democracy that fights hard in the nor
Is nations, but stands squarely by the nomine
on the day of election.
